This Explains Everthing

This New York Times story provides a rather illuminating quote about the passage of health care reform:

“There is no downside for Republicans,” Michael Steele, theRepublican National Committee chairman, said Monday in an interview. “Only for Americans.”

I think what he is saying is clear. In America's "newspaper of record", the Chairman of the Republican National Committee is acknowledging that Republicans are not only not "Real Americans", but in fact not Americans at all.
